Comment: The definition in Table 6 for turning radius is confusing. It could be reworded as "The amount that each wheel must pivot through the steering axis during a turn. The inside wheel will rotate at a slower speed over a shorter distance than the outside wheel as it travels a smaller arc." Also, the Effects box could add a bullet point "When inside wheel is turned at 20 degrees, the outside wheel should be approximately 2-4 degrees less to compensate for the different turning radius of each wheel."

Comment: Figure 58 shows adjustment slots for an upper strut mount but incorrectly states "caster". It should state "Upper strut mount movement changes camber." Furthermore, the image is very dark in the printed version, and it could use an arrow indicating the front of the vehicle.

Comment: The second bullet point mentions "sodium azide". However, this is not commonly used anymore, so it should also mention "ammonium nitrate" Also, the last paragraph on the page mentions compressed argon gas. To the best of my knowledge, this is incorrect and should be nitrogen gas
